Y. is an acronym for a title preceding the name of the Chancellor of my university
It is contained in the address/title of the Chancellor of UPSI in Tanjong Malim as an acronym ...
"Nama: Y. Bhg. Datuk Dr. Muhammad Rais bin Abdul Karim Jawatan: Naib Canselor (JUSA A)"
If you can translate that acronym into Malaysian AND English that would be wonderful!
"Nama: Y. Bhg. Datuk Dr. Muhammad Rais bin Abdul Karim Jawatan: Naib Canselor (JUSA A)"
If you can translate that acronym into Malaysian AND English that would be wonderful!

the esteemed
This is an honorific prefix. It can be translated literally as "The Fortunate," "the Saved (in a spiritual sense," "The Prosperous" or "The Happy," but such phrases sound rather awkward, at least in my North American English.
"The esteemed Datuk Dr. Muhammad . . ." sounds a bit better.
Spelled out it is "Yang Berbahagia."

Oops, simultaneous responses. \"Honorable\" sounds good too.
